It's probalby a common question, and I've read the man pages and such, but
I need a little bit more help getting this specific task to work right.
Basically, I want to mirror home directory structures, and only two files
within each home directory, to other machines from a central server. Those
files are ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs and ~/.procmailrc. Other files should
not be transfered, so I'm looking for some sort of wildcard statement to
do that. If I just put a * in there, nothing transfers. If I want to
transfer other files at a later date, I'll add them into the file with +'s.
I would like to not have to specify each filename that I want to exclude.
Thanks,
Jason
